Beautiful coral. It does have a digitata look to it, almost looks like orange skin under the polyps but let it grow a bit to determine.

Shape of the polyps are a giveaway. Concave whereas Stylos are fluffier.

I don’t know if the shape is what determines the species or if you can have a monti that looks like a stylo and vice versa.
